    2012 ford svt Raptor

    Well it's not a truck modification, it is an essential piece of kit in my part of the world. It is something however that I have almost no experience with. I have taken a safety course, just doesn't feel like it's been adequate. So I'll have an experienced friend show me. Looking forward to...

    Overlanding Raptor Build

    I thought about going this route next time I have 2 replace the upper ball joints. I had a rough go when I took my factory shocks off and had them rebuilt. Ended up having to replace all ball joints, tie rod ends, and had to replace the vacuum line for the 4x4 hubs. Learned to not take my rig to...

    SE Idaho

    Could also head up sunnyside road past the transfer station and up past bone. My favorite area to explore was the fall creek/ kepps crossing area. If the OP is much of a fisherman blackfoot reservoir isnt far from wolverine. Lots of spots to camp out there.

    Any Hunters Among Us?

    This is one of the things that makes me miss home. I grew up hunting and fishing with my brothers and old man. Since moving to Oregon I've had some luck in seeing does and cows, but never anything with antlers. I wouldn't mind if my tag was for either sex. I've really enjoyed hunting in Oregon...

    Maps

    I use an app called back country navigator. I really like it since the app doesn't require a subscription fee, just an initial one. There are several different type of imagery you can download to your tablet or phone. As long as you have a device that has a GPS built in it works great. You can...

    WHY did you choose YOUR rig?!

    I ve owned a variant of the f150 for the last 10 years or so. Personally I like them. Ford started debuting the SVT Raptor when I was in Iraq. I remember day dreaming about owning one. Actually never thought I would be in the position to own one. Fast forward a couple years of hard work and...

    2012 ford svt Raptor

    Put some new pads and rotors on today, had a little difficulty with the front. Apparently I didn't realize the pads were in backwards but I figured it out with the help of my old lady. Pretty awesome woman I must say.

    How big is big enough? - Tire sizes

    When it came time for me to buy new tires I did consider bigger tires. Larger tires come with a large price tag though. And I wanted a quality tire at an acceptable price. 1900 bucks for all terrain tires was a nope. I kept the stock size but decided to go for a more aggressive tire. And oddly...

    Raptor vs Gladiator

    That's if the raptor is a crew cab, if it's the extended cab it's even less. I believe it's only 5500. I may be wrong though

    Raptor vs Gladiator

    Raptors have a pretty low tow rating for a full size truck, especially in bed capacity.

    Raptor vs Gladiator

    I've been eyeing the gladiator myself, but honestly I don't think I'll ever get rid of my raptor. I wanted one when they first came out, it was my dream truck. But I like the idea of having a jeep truck. One of the Main reasons I have not purchased a jeep was cargo capacity. So I think they may...

    2011 F-150 RTT Rack Build on Diamondback Cover

    Looks like a great start, cant wait to see how it turns out. I like that your cover is covered with line x haven't seen anything like that before.

    Can I get by without 4x4

    Well it isnt that its required. Even with 4x4 I've been bogged and stuck. But I wouldn't get crazy with my family with me. It's a solid piece of insurance to help you get home. Throwing a locker in, bigger tires and a lift won't help by itself. I'd say if your going to spend the money on that...
